bad smells and baseball

rough night. (not really.)  my apartment reeks of coffee - i happen to be grossed out by the smell of coffee, and the yankees are beating the red sox.  they have 6 innings to come back.  i'll cross my fingers.

 

it's hard to find time to blog.  time seems to be going really fast, but it feels productive too.  life is generally very good.

 

last weekend i went home to ny from friday night to sunday afternoon.  it was good to see my parents and everyone else.  i raided the bookshelves of my little cousins for an assignment and played some wiffle ball while i was over there.  i also got to watch some fun bike tricks and push little alyss on a swing.  friday night i caught the end of the nyack high school homecoming football game with my mom.  it was cool to see all of that again.  not much has changed.  the cheerleaders have better uniforms now.  nyack kicked butt.  mr. pesner the gym teacher was the announcer.  it was a good blast from the past.

 

i'm enjoying all this presidential stuff, learning about so many issues.  unfortunately i found out that washington has become a swing state, and i already changed my voter registration to massachusetts.  oh well.  everyone i know except for my old boss was voting for the better guy anyway.  i trust that they'll come through.  i'm creating a 3rd grade social studies unit on voting.  if you have any good information/games/links, let me know.
